    Q1. Why is the Stark effect more pronounced in some atoms than in others?

    • A) Due to the presence of a stronger electric field
    • B) Because of the presence of a magnetic field
    • C) As a result of the quantization of energy levels
    • D) Because of the presence of an external electric field

    Answer: Because of the presence of an external electric field

    Explanation: The Stark effect is more pronounced in some atoms than in others due to the presence of an external electric field, which causes the energy levels to become degenerate.
